Sleeping Bag Temperature Ratings Explained

The EN Rating scale is a scientific test to determine the warmth of a sleeping bag. The test produces a Lower rating (for male sleepers) and a Comfort rating (for female sleepers). Both are listed in the features table on the product page.

A unisex sleeping bag with a Lower limit of 23ºF means a man should be comfortable down to air temperatures of 23ºF. The same bag will also have a Comfort limit, in the realm of 32°F, so a woman would be comfortable down to an air temperature of 32ºF. These ratings require a sleeping mat with an R-Value appropriate for expected ground temperatures – without this, the sleeping bag itself is unlikely to keep the sleeper warm enough.

A variety of factors impact sleeping bag warmth - the above temperatures are merely guidelines, not guarantees. It’s important to think of a sleeping bag, an appropriately insulating sleeping pad and a liner as a sleep system. For example - if you plan on sleeping in nighttime air temperatures of 27ºF / -3°C, choose a bag with a gender-appropriate rating of 23°F / -5°C, plus a sleeping mat with an R-Value of 2.5 to 3, and consider a Reactor thermal liner.

Technical Features

Microfibre

In the DryLite and Tek Towels, the fiber is a blend of 70% Polyester and 30% Polyamide (Nylon).

The four types of towels have different weights and finish to ensure that you can dry off no matter where you are. The AirLite Towel is made of a featherweight material and is incredibly compact. The Pocket Towel is super-light and has the silkiest finish. The Drylite Towel is a medium weight and has an ultra-suede-like finish. The Tek Towel is the heaviest and most absorbent and has a terry loop-like finish, like most normal towels.

Great Towel and Customer Service

Review by Carlie L. on 5 May 2020review stating Great Towel and Customer Service

These are the best towels! I also have the pocket towel. I love them. The texture and way it absorbs takes some getting used to if you are comparing it to your everyday house towels but once you get beyond that point they are phenomenal! It is so nice to go to the beach and just be able to easily shake the sand off your towel! Or dry off and then a little while later dry off again with the same dry towel! I am nomadic, and will be for any foreseeable future, and various sizes of these towels will be all I have, it already is all I own. With my last order I had to do an address switch, they took care of it so easy - it did get miscommunicated and a new shipping label wasn’t printed but I reached out again and they immediately shipped out new products to the correct address and apologised! They were so easy to talk to, and kind and helpful and they responded quickly! I like Sea To Summit products but it makes a world of difference when they also have good customer service!
